The creator and cast of the royal comedy satire take us behind the scenes of their West End show.

The Windsors has been running on Channel 4 since 2016 - a wild comic satire which has always put the rude before the regal. Now the show's transferring to the stage in London, with some of the TV cast.

Jeffrie died last September at the age of 56 after a cardiac arrest. "He was my writing partner for almost 25 years," says Tyler-Moore. "And there's something new this time: even as we've rehearsed the play it's become more musical. I've never sung on stage ever and it's not what we thought we'd signed up for - but it gives some great moments."Ciaran Owens has taken over as Prince William from Hugh Skinner who played the role on TV. He says he doesn't want to give away the entire plot.

"I think the TV shows mean the audience expects an absolutely hilarious, bonkers spectacle. One thing people love is the exaggerated way some characters speak. Like everything in the play, there are elements of the ludicrous... but it has to be sprinkled with truth too or it won't work," says Butterworth.

For part of the play the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at home in Malibu, their days filled with meditation, podcasts and the welfare of rescue chickens. But the demands of the play bring family members together. Swordplay proves central.There is, and always has been, an obvious omission in The Windsors: the Queen does not feature. Tyler-Moore says that decision came early on in discussions with Channel 4.
